Question

One mole of propane (c3h8) gas reacts with five moles of oxygen (o2) gas to produce three moles of carbon dioxide gas (co2) and four moles of water gas (h2o). using this description of the reaction, write the corresponding chemical equation, showing the appropriate coefficients for each reactant and product. (include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer.)

Answer 1

The corresponding chemical equation is as follow,

C₃H₈ ₍g₎ + 5 O₂ ₍g₎ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

In above equation, the numbers in bold font are the coefficients (reactant without specified coefficient has a coefficient of 1) and the states of matter are written in subscripts enclosed in brackets.
